Abstract: To install a connectorized cable assembly, a cable terminated at a connector core is pushed through a duct. The connector core has a maximum outer diameter of no more than 5 mm to facilitate passage of the connector core through the duct. A plug body is mounted over the connector core after the connector core exits the duct. No intermediate assembly steps are performed on the connector core between being pushed through the duct and being inserted into the plug body.

Abstract: A multi-fiber fiber optic connector is provided having features that allow for changeability with respect to gender. A pin holder is configured to releasably retain a pair of alignment pins and includes top and bottom plates having both ramps and front tabs. Opposing distal ends of the front top and bottom tabs are movable relative to each other between a pin retaining position and a pin release position. When the front top and bottom tabs are in the pin retaining position, the distal ends are engaged at least partially within a circumferential groove of a corresponding alignment pin, and when the front top and bottom tabs are in the pin release position, at least a portion of corresponding top and bottom ramps are spread apart from one another flexing the top and the bottom plates away from each other and disengaging the distal ends from the alignment pin.

Abstract: Methods, systems, and media for optimization of fabrication processes are provided. In some implementations, a method of automatically optimizing fabrication processes comprises: (a) providing a first set of process parameter values associated with a first experiment to a model representing a fabrication process; (b) characterizing a statistical uncertainty of predictions made by the model; (c) using an acquisition function to select a second set of process parameter values, wherein the acquisition function identifies the second set of process parameters based on both: (i) a difference between predicted wafer characteristics and a target specification; and (ii) the statistical uncertainty; (d) receiving results of the fabrication process performed using the second set of process parameter values; and (e) determining whether the performance of the fabrication process generates a post-processed wafer having wafer characteristics that meet the target specification.

Abstract: An XR system using interactive virtual objects having gelatinous attributes is provided. The XR system captures tracking data of a first hand and a second hand of a user. The XR system generates an interactive XR user interface with an interactive virtual object associated with a location on the first hand. The system renders the interactive virtual object using specific attributes and displays it as a component of the interactive XR user interface. The XR system detects a hover event of the user holding a digit of the second hand in proximity to the location on the first hand without touching the location, and in response, renders the interactive virtual object using a second set of attributes and re-displays the interactive virtual object. The XR system applies gelatinous attributes to the interactive virtual object to convey a state of an interactive XR user interface.

Abstract: Various embodiments herein relate to systems, methods, and media for matching pre-processing and post-processing substrate samples.

Abstract: An XR system is provided that enhances user interaction within an extended reality environment by capturing tracking data of a user's hands using one or more sensors. The XR system uses this data to generate a system control user interface that includes interactive virtual objects positioned on a first hand of the user, which the user can interact with using a digit of a second hand. The system control user interface is displayed directly to the user. Upon detecting a system control input from the user, the XR system generates and displays a system function user interface that includes further interactive virtual objects for accessing various system functions. These interfaces are displayed simultaneously yet separately within the user's field of view.
